Description

The South Building of the Water Works, built in 1857 by T. Duncan, is a water works building constructed from snecked stone. It has two storeys and features two bays on each floor. The building is characterized by quoins, a top bracketed cornice, and a high parapet that includes a blind arcade.

The south facade has a ground floor with round windows, while the first floor showcases round-headed recesses containing tripartite windows, with stepped round-headed lights positioned above. The north facade features two round-headed rusticated recesses, each with two round-headed lights and a roundel. There is an enclosed porch with rusticated quoins and a cornice, along with round-headed windows and an entrance.

A chimney is located at the north-west angle and consists of two stages of blind lancets, bracketed cornices, and antefixae on both sides. An adjoining block to the north is a single storey with three bays, also featuring quoins, a top frieze cornice, and blocking courses, topped with a hipped slate roof. This section includes three windows with two round-headed lights and a roundel beneath a round relieving arch.
